3 A For all cardinals \(m\) and \(n\), \(n\le m\) and \(m\)infinite \(\rightarrow m + n = m\).  Halpern/Howard [1970].

3 B \(\aleph_{0}\cdot m = m\):  For all infinite cardinals\(m\), \(\aleph_{0}\cdot m  =  m\).  Halpern/Howard [1970].

3 C  Definability of cardinal addition as the least upperbound: (For all cardinals \(x, y\) and \(z)( x + y = z\) iff \(( x \le  z\)and \(y \le  z\) and \((\forall  u)( x,y \le  u \rightarrow  z \le  u))\).H\"aussler [1983] and Tarski [1949a].

3 D  Every pair of cardinals has a least upper bound inthe usual cardinal ordering and for all cardinals \(\kappa\) and \(\gamma\),if \(n\kappa  \le  \gamma \) for all \(n \in  \omega \), then\(\aleph _{0}\kappa  \le  \gamma \).  Hickman [1979b].

3 E \(E(IV,V)\): For all infinite cardinals \(m\), \(m + 1 = m\)implies \(2m= m\).  Howard/Yorke [1989] and Note 94.

3 F \(E(III,V)\): For every set \(X\), if \(\Cal P(X)\) isDedekind infinite then \(2|X| = |X|\).  Howard/Yorke [1989] andNote 94.

3 G \(E(II,V)\):  For every set \(X\), if there is a non-emptyfamily of subsets of \(X\) which is linearly ordered by \(\subseteq\) andhas no maximal element then \(2|X| = |X|\). Howard/Yorke [1989] andNote 94.

3 H \(E(Ia,V)\): For every set \(X\), if \(2|X| > |X|\) then \(X\)is amorphous.  Howard\slash Yorke [1989], notes 85(H) and 94.
